Walk 2 miles and unlock the Ocarina in LoZ! Walk 3 miles and unlock the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart! Walk 10 miles and unlock the hammer in Paper Mario!
Oh man, my Christmas story is WAY different than all of yours.
When I was about five or six, I was over at my friends house two days before Christmas. My friend had an old SNES that my family used to own, but my parents had traded it to them for a new roof for our car (I never forgave them). We were playing Super Mario World and Mario Kart.
I had been asking for a SNES for Christmas so I wouldn't have to go over to my friend's house every time I wanted to play it (we lived pretty close to each other). My parents had hinted that they were getting me a console but I had no idea that they were going to get me a Gameboy Advance!
They bought me Super Mario World and Mario Kart: Super Circuit! We went out two days after Christmas and we bought Donkey Kong Country 2, Pac-Man Collection, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Yoshi's Island.
You can imagine I didn't do anything productive for about a MONTH!
I think that releasing the games would help everybody become acquainted with the Virtual Boy. Most of the reason that nobody ever bought or heard of the console was probably because it didn't have very many games.
I have played the console at a friends house while waiting for him to do something and I thought that Mario Clash and Wario Land were superb games, even for today. I would definitely buy them if they were released on the Virtual Handheld.

Re: Iwata: Making Consoles is Like Buying Sushi, and Other Insights
I'd say it is more like selling sushi.
You sell $0.50 worth of fish for $50.

Re: Earn Coins by Walking Around With Your 3DS

Re: Super Mario 64 is a 5-Minute Adventure With the Right Tools
Hey, I wish they would do that with Banjo Kazooie. It would be awesome!
BTW @ the people who said he had no life, he spent a lot less time on that game then he would have if he had collected all of the stars.
Re: Review: Sonic & Knuckles (Virtual Console / Sega Mega Drive)
I love all of the Sonic games but I got them on the XBLA because... they are all kind of... way cheaper.

Re: Lend Your Support to Get Renegade Kid's MUDDS on DSiWare
Will he still make the game if all of the comments tell him not to do it?
It doesn't look like any of the enemies fight back. Where's the challenge?
Re: Wii Balance Board Gets its First Horror Title Next Year
Sounds a bit like Luigi's Mansion. Maybe you stomp on the Balance Board to make dust rain down on ghosts. Hmm...
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd November 2010 (North America)

Re: DS to Have Life After 3DS, says Nintendo
I think that they are going to go the way of the Super Paper Mario.
Announce a huge game for both the Gamecube and the Wii. Then they cancel the plans for GCN to force you to buy the Wii.
Re: Ivy the Kiwi? Mini
I got Ivy the Kiwi at Costco for $10 so no big loss.

Re: Rare NES Game Sells for $41,300 on eBay
Weird... I hope he got his moneys worth.
EDIT: It says at the top that it sold for $41,300 but in the article it says $13,105. Is this an error?

Re: Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All (WiiWare)
